Who We Are
St. Silouan the Athonite is a local parish of the Self-Ruled Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America.
We are a growing church with about 60 members, from newborns to college students and young professionals to retirees. Some of us are "cradle Orthodox" from countries where Orthodoxy predominates and some of us are Protestant converts--or entirely new to Christianity.
We are a parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, under the pastoral care of Metropolitan JOSEPH, and the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America shepherded by Bishop BASIL.
In September 2001, His Grace Bishop BASIL blessed the efforts to begin an Antiochian Orthodox Christian Mission in Bryan-College Station.
We were sponsored by the St. Joseph Orthodox Christian Church of Houston. We were named St. Silouan in 2004 and were granted full parish status in 2012.
